So, you don't see any chance that Luck will see the way they are building a solid team around Peyton now that he left the Colts and wish for the same thing?

 

Luck can't go anywhere. And the very idea that he's going to throw his hands up and try to force his way out of town is just ridiculous.

If no trade happens to replace him than any hope of a Colts Superbowl run is completely destroyed.  Even if he is replaced I am not sure that the Colts can come back from this.  He was literally by far the best player on the defense.  I think everyone needs to start tempering their expectations now and redefining success as making it to the playoffs.

ok the guy is a head case, but hes a proven pass rusher in a 3-4 scheme

Doesn't matter.  The dude is bad news.

 

 

Yet, AGAIN it is taking too long to build a solidified defense and a decent OL around what could be one of the best QB's of his generation...now why does that sound so familiar?

 

 

I personally expect Luck to figure this out and LEAVE INDY next contract.  He is smart enough to see this is what they did to Peyton, just like they are doing it to him, and he will get the heck out of dodge.

Good grief. This post is up there with some of the worst of the worst.

Forget Denver, how about Seattle and what Wilson has to work with? I mean you could play this game with any elite team but honestly Luck was picked number one overall by the worst team in football in 2011. I don't think he had any pretentions about the rebuild and the bumps that would come along.

I would look to trade for a pass rusher opposite Werner for this year. If Newsome can develop along with Werner and whoever we bring in, if Mathis is Healthy next year- we may have upto 4 capable pass rushers.

J-New will have to get involved more, and it will be a trial by fire for that young man.

Haven't you been saying this all offseason anyways?

No trade is coming, no hero is going to show up and save the day. This team just has to man up and get better, on both sides of the ball.

Yes, I have but it makes it that much more of a positive thing.  I can guarantee and will put money behind my words that the Colts will not make it to the Superbowl this year without Mathis barring some major trade.

Good for you. Let us know how much you make at the end of the season. Meanwhile, most of the rest of us will continue rooting for our team.

    • Any chance we take a OT with the 1st pick?
    • FWIW:   Today I listened to a guy from The Athletic interviewed on ESPN.   (Darren Lee). He said interviewing GMs at the combine, almost all view DeJean as a safety except two teams.  He thinks the Colts and Jags view DeJean as a corner.     I don’t know this reporter, never seen him before, so I can’t speak to his credibility.  But it sounds like he did a lot of homework.     And I appreciate your view on pro day times being reliable or not.   I’m always skeptical on pro days.  But I thought DeJean helped himself on his testing.  
    • I could care less what he does. Been too long ago.
    • I’m with ya..     I'm not sure we’re going WR at 15 either.  I think we could go DE, and it’s possible we could go CB as well.   Gosh,  I love Mitchell and really like Arnold as well.  And if we trade back I would be fine with McKinstry or a DE on defense or one of the 2nd tier of WRs that could be there in the 20’s.  So many options.   I keep reminding myself, every pick could produce a surprise, because I think Ballard will have so many options to choose from.      Im also not sure Ballard will use all 7 rounds.   He finished in 5 rounds in his first draft 2017,  and he finished in 6 rounds in 2019.   Maybe he uses all 7 rounds, but I’m not confident we will.     One week from tonight.   
    • My Final Mock Draft   15. Brock Bowers, TE,  6’4 245 Lbs, Georgia - Blue Chip Prospect.  Rare combination of acceleration, speed and body control. Hands-catcher operating with good coordination and technique. With Pittman on the outside Bowers will control the middle of the field and seams. AR Will develop much quicker into a top 10 QB with Bowers as his TE.  46. TJ Tampa, CB, 6’1, 190 Lbs, Iowa State - Elite physical traits. Plays with good positioning throughout routes. Very good in press Coverage and Zone. Expect him to compete in training camp and be named a starter.      82. Calen Bullock, S, 6’2 190 lbs, USC - Elite physical traits. He has the range to play single-high safety, the athleticism to line up over the slot and the ball skills to chalk up impressive on-ball production. Expect him to compete in training camp for the starting S position.    117. Tez Walker,  WR,  6’2 195 Lbs, UNC - Elite speed with very good body control. Career average of 30.7 yards on touchdown receptions. Gives us very good depth and competition with Pierce.    151. Grayson Murphy, DE, 6’3 260 Lbs, UCLA - Shows impressive quickness and change of direction to help turn speed to power as a rusher. Good depth.    191.  Keaton Bills, G, 6’5 320 Lbs, Utah - Cerebral player, quick to react to twists and stunts up front. Very good depth.
